I agree but it seems like it's a culture thing, where people "just deal with it." our Vehicle Service Techs have a hard enough time putting Trucks out on the road since the services doesn't really have many spare units. I'm of the same mindset, that's why it blows my mind that this isn't a...

Hey all, been a while since I've been active on here, but I just wanted to get a feel for how other agencies out there do as far as this. I currently work for a busy semi 3rd party contract system. In the past I've worked for county run services, Fire services that have single certs and straight...

Yeah yeah, something original Jr.

I need a meme about students vs seasoned medics, preferably about how much stuff they carry on their person. I looked around and couldn't find anything anyone got anything?

On my working days it's not unusual to be dozing off on the recliners at 8:30. If I'm not on a call that is.

Medic#: Dispatch do you have a call back number for this call? Dispatch: I'll try calling them back. Few minutes later... Dispatch: Medic # your patient is coming to the door. Medic#: Too late my partner's going through the window. Dispatch: That might startle her.

Loud speaker works sometimes.

These things are all part of the job, from the partners who text and drive to having 3 cardiac arrests with 0 saves in one shift you deal with it, talk to your partner if she blows up on you like that then she's obviously unprofessional and shouldn't be given respect or the time of day, I'd talk...

What indicates a 12 lead for you but not a posterior? Part of the class when I attended was that while the information has been around for years it hasn't been implemented by everyone.

Maybe I miss it but what we're his lung sounds, everyone accessing cpap but that won't help in asthma.

French coffee press, I can heat up the water in the microwave and take the pot with me because it fits in the cup holder.

What's the issue? He broke a rule he should've taken the consequence into his decision, he was punished like he should've expected, if he shut up, accepted it and stayed on he probably would've gotten his position back soon enough. His resignation was rash and uncalled for.

This is what Christmas eve held for me.

So this discussion came up at work the other day. If you have a patient with a trained guide dog, no family friends ore anyone available to care for the dog, what do you do with them? Really would like to hear from anyone who's actually had a patient like this.

What drugs did you give? We gave a pt mag recently who couldn't tolerate cpap worked like magic.
